preparation direction
 
GLAZE
1. Combine first 6 ingredients. Reserve. Place pomegranate juice and cornstarch in a small bowl, stir until mixture is combined. Reserve.


CHICKEN
2. Heat oil on medium-high heat in a large deep skillet. Brown chicken, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from skillet. Reserve.

3. Add carrots and sliced onion to skillet. Cook on medium heat 5 minutes, stirring often. Add reserved glaze mixture. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium low and simmer for 5 minutes. Add back browned chicken, cook for an additional 5 minutes, turning occasionally to coat with glaze.

4. Remove chicken and place on clean dish. Add reserved cornstarch mixture into skillet, stir to combine well. Bring glaze to a boil and allow to thicken. Add pomegranate seeds and place chicken back in skillet and turn to coat with glaze.

TIPS:
• To seed a pomegranate, score fresh pomegranate by cutting through the skin. Place pomegranate in a bowl of cold water. Break pomegranate open underwater to free the seeds (arils). The seeds will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top. Strain, pat seeds dry. Refrigerate or freeze in a well-sealed freezer bag or container. This way you will always have seeds on hand for recipes or just to snack on.
• Add to your favourite salad recipe.
